Summary: The President of the Court of First Instance denied Apple's application to change the language of the proceedings from German to English (the language of the patent) in the infringement action brought by Ona Patents SL at the Düsseldorf Local Division. The President found that the balance of interests did not favour a language change, given that Ona Patents (a medium-sized Spanish company) had legitimate reasons to file in German and the change would represent a significant drawback for the claimant while providing only a slight advantage to Apple.
